About Bill Swanson

We have always loved boating and exploring the lake as well as the surrounding area! We look forward to the relaxing atmosphere this area offers and all its natural beauty.

Bill Swanson purchased this house in 2012

Why Bill Swanson chose Lake Roosevelt

We have been coming to Lake Roosevelt with our friends and family for nearly 20 years and love the area and all it has to offer. We finally found our perfect get-away to relax and enjoy....our home away from home and hope you enjoy it and the area as much as we do!

What makes this house unique

You will fall in love with this clean, comfortable, warm home and it's location. Just a few short steps to a beautiful cove and beach. Take your morning coffee and sit at shores edge and enjoy the sunrise on the cliffs over the lake. Watch your children or grandchildren play in the water or dig on the sandy beach. Take a friend for a walk along the shore or cast a line. This home is ideal for one or more families, as it has a kitchen both upstairs and down. Includes a beautiful deck to enjoy the sunshine and views. Watch the Eagles and Ospreys soar by or any other number of birds! Use the binoculars and you might spot a Big-Horned Sheep from the grass or deck. Sit outside at night and view the endless array of stars.

The Perfect Vacation

We had such a great time!!!!

We have been to Roosevelt several times but never rented a home what a nice relaxing vacation the house was perfect for two families and had everything we needed. Beautiful view and we loved all the wild life. We will definitely be back.

Great getaway

This getaway is wonderful anytime of the year! Very close to the beach...great views of the lake from the house...lots of wildlife...wonderful areas to hike... And the list goes on. The house is large enough for two families to share, or a group of ladies getting away for a week fun and friendship like we were.

We highly recommend this property and look forward to booking this for our families to enjoy! Wonderful getaway close to home!!!

Even though the weather was a little cool, having such a nice place to stay made it a non issue. We loved the view and easy access to the lake. And the home's interior, while being pleasing to look at, was very comfortable as well. We are ready to go back!

Great place to stay - clean, well appointed, quiet

I had my kids with me for spring break and we loved it. It is a two story home and that gave us some good separation at times. The rooms are well appointed and the kitchen living room makes for great entertaining.

Awesome closeout to the summer

We stayed here for a week to enjoy some hot weather and good water skiing. There was just three of us, so there was ample space. With the two kitchens and lvngrm's (upstairs and downstairs) you could have a lot more people still spread out and enjoyable. The house had a good stock of usable items (pots, pans, towels, etc.) which made cooking easy, along with using the outdoor grill. The beds were super comfy, and the water pressure in the showers were supper. The bedroom upstairs did get warm (a bit too warm for us) at night and the downstairs stayed much cooler than the upstairs. Every day we came across deer and rabits right outside the doors. We saw well over 50 for the week. Internet access was nice, and the two TV's (one upstairs and one downstairs) were tied to the internet for access to netflix, you tube, etc. (no regular tv) It's a bit complicated to use the remote and TV and understand how to access everything, and I had to reconnect the upstairs TV thru the settings to the wireless network. It's not intuitive at all and if you are not tech savy, you could get frustrated and lost really quickly. directions would be a nice add.

It's a short hike down to a great sandy beach that you can moore your boat off of (about a 5 min walk down a couple houses, then a sandy trail (not very steep, but noticable if you are carrying a heavy cooler). It's really steep into the water, so bring a 75ft rope at least for an anchor and another 75 foot rope to tie off to the shore with. Since it was labor day weekend, there were a bunch of boats and people on the beach -- but after Monday - everyone was gone and it was just us. The house next door had a big party with a live band on Saturday night, but we enjoyed the music - so it didn't bother us at all. Other than that it was really quite. After all the boats left the lake (Monday night and after) - the water in front of the house turned to glass after 6:00 p.m. -- otherwise you had to boat down river about 30 - 60 minutes to get to some good glass. it was typically windy and choppy during the afternoon. The Marina is just a couple minutes by boat to get gas and has a small store. You need to drive about 25 minutes to Davenport to hit the safeway there to really stock up if you left something that isn't simple like bread or milk. Otherwise the Marina store or the Fort store can suffice. Water was 74-76 and air was high 80's -- warm!

Beautiful House, Awesome Views, Great Vacation

This was a great place for our first (of many we hope) trips to Lake Roosevelt. The location was perfect for exploring the lake by boat in both directions. The lake is spectacular and there was a lot of smooth water for skiing and wake boarding. The house is situated on a small, calm bay which was just right for anchoring our boat at night, with an easily accessible path from the beach to the house just steps away. The house is beautiful and provided more than enough space for just the three of us (husband, 14-year-old daughter and myself). The kitchen had everything we needed (and more) and the rest of the house was nicely furnished and very clean. We used the BBQ on the deck just about every night and enjoyed some great meals overlooking the lake. The beds were really comfortable and there were nice soft pillow too. We saw a lot of wildlife from the deck overlooking the lake while sitting in the comfy adirondack chairs enjoying coffee in the quiet mornings and wine in the evenings. There were board games, cards and a lot of movies to choose from for after dinner entertainment. All-in-all it was the perfect family vacation for us, a time to reconnect and unwind in an awesome place!

Owner's Response: We are so glad you enjoyed your stay at Pointe of View!
The Swanson's

There are many things do in and around the lake. They are listed below in no particular order because they are all fun,

1. Grand Coulee Dam - Take the 'dam tour', which our now teenagers used to love to say when they were young, knowing they weren't normally allowed to use those words :). We are referring to Grand Coulee Dam. They have a lazer light show at night which is fun and they also have a tour where you go down inside the dam with a tour guide...very interesting, informative and AMAZING!!

2. Fort Spokane - This is only a few miles away and there are walking trails and historical information on the fort and the history of the area.

3. Two Rivers Casino - This is a great place to catch some live music, good food and leave some money.

4. Kellers Ferry - Take the ferry loop around and back home through Kettle Falls. This will take a good chunk of the day, but you will see some incredible sights.

8. Fishing - We can't forget fishing. This is a great activity and you should have some luck. Ask at the store, marina or stop by Big Wally's for some advice and fish stories. This is a great way to spend part or all of your day with a son, daughter, spouse, friend, relative or simply get some quite alone time.

9. Boating - Ski, tube or float! Great way to cool off or simply find a remote beach to enjoy and relax on.

......the list is endless! add some memories and create your own special list.

The Bedroom upstairs has a king bed. Downstairs has two bedrooms and a sleeper sofa. One bedroom has a king bed and the other bedroom has two bunk beds.
